I didn't get a chance to cut anything with it of any substance. By the time I got out there it was blowing 30-40 mph gusts and we didn't really think that the woods was anywhere we needed to be. You could see stuff falling all over the woods. I DID make a few cuts on log I had run out of fuel on...

We'll find out how well it cuts today. Dad's got a couple trees that need taken down before they land on the grandkids zipline. They're dead already, they just need dropped and cut up. The chain ended up being a semi-chisel.

It was a little....grungy. "]http://[/URL]

Dropped the chain off this morning and cleaned up the bar. It has some burrs but it's straight . I'll clean them up and file them. The tip feels gritty but it's not loose. I don't know if there's anything I can do about that. What do you guys usually use to clean up a saw?

Disregard. I made a mistake with the .325 PITCH and .050 GAUGE. Plus I saw that the question was answered when the 63ps chain and bar were recommended.

Also, while I'm thinking about it, if I change the bar and chain to .050, wouldn't the sprocket need changed as well?

With the chisel and semi-chisel chains, is there a difference when sharpening them compared to a low-kickback chain? I've never sharpened chains before. Dad has a set of files with the clamp-on guide, but I don't want make a good chain bad by sharpening it wrong.

The outer half appeared to have a second "half" attached to the outer cover. I didn't pry on it to see if it was one piece or not. I expected more baffling to the muffler, but the aftermarket ones I've found online don't seem to have very much to them.

I took the muffler off out of curiosity and to see what size bolt was missing. It only had one holding it on. I'm guessing that there USED to be a spark arrester screen in there somewhere? I can see an empty hole in the center that appears to be threaded, but there's nothing but the front and...

Thanks for all of the help. I think I'll get the chain sharpened and see how it cuts before I buy a new bar and chain. Is there anything special I should tell the guy doing the sharpening? I'll try to get some pictures of it tomorrow before I remove more of the sawdust-oil mix that is everywhere...

Can I use the .050 gauge 63PS in the same bar? I'm guessing that the gauge is the thickness of the drive links?

I got the kill switch to work. The red switch would rotate just a tad past where the brass strip would hit the wire and kill it. I "massaged" the wire with a pair of pliers so that it hits now everytime and kills the saw. I was able to make out some marks on the chain. I don't know what all of...

Thanks guys. I'll tear into it today. I'm going to check the chain and see if it is in good enough shape to sharpen and see if I can clean up the kill switch contacts.

Hi all. I ran across a Stihl 024 AV today for $100. It needs either the chain sharpened or a new chain according to the guy that sold it. It started third pull and ran fine for the minute I ran it in the parking lot. (Apparently a chainsaw running in the pharmacy parking lot is somewhat...
